Landscape Connectivity and Pattern (LCaP) metrics

Updated 21 July 2007

The approach of the LCaP ArcGIS tools (for v9.2) is to provide:

- a basic framework with which to organize the analysis of landscapes;

- some of more commonly used, useful, and robust metrics that incorporate a functional perspective;

- a clearer link between metrics already available in GIS; and

- a platform on ModelBuilder programming framework.
